A question for the writers of 'Supernatural' and 'Reaper', and any other show that delves into the lore of angels:

Even if it's not seen on the screen, do they consider there to be life on other planets? Does the Heavenly Host take any interest in the intelligent life on those other worlds?

This week, 'Supernatural' seemed to suggest that God isn't even paying attention any more to the grand scheme of things on Earth. Could He have moved on to a new plaything, say the planet of Ork or Melmac, and has tossed aside our 'Big Blue Marble'?

It's certainly not like the Vatican isn't ready for the revelation that there are other intelligent life forms out there. Last year, Vatican chief astronomer Father Jose Gabriel Funes was interviewed by the L'Osservatore Romano newspaper in which he said there is a certain possibility of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe, and that such a possibility "doesn't contradict our faith."

"How can we rule out that life may have developed elsewhere? Just as we consider earthly creatures as 'a brother,' and 'sister,' why should we not talk about an 'extraterrestrial brother'?It would still be part of creation," he said.

So, even though horror and science fiction rarely mix, maybe 'Reaper' and 'Supernatural' should remember that God's not going to be so focused on just the Earth or its billions of souls....

Just An Old Cowhand On The TiVo Grande

As the Trickster once said, "Reality is boring, that's why I change it whenever I can."
I'm just "The Man Who Viewed Too Much", and "Inner Toob" is a blog exploring and celebrating the 'reality' of an alternate universe in which everything that ever happened on TV actually takes place.
Most of my theories about the TV Universe come from thinking inside the box and thus can't be proven. But I've never been one to shy away from a tall tale.....
